Question

If 4.25 g CO₂ were produced, what is the percent yield of this reaction?

Answer 1

Percent yield is the percent ratio of actual yield to the theoretical yield. It is calculated to be the experimental yield divided by theoretical yield multiplied by 100%. If the actual and theoretical yield ​is the same, the percent yield is 100%.

4.25 g CO₂ is the actual yield. In order to calculate the percent yield, a theoretic number is required.
